Checking For Duplicate In Listbox Item Turns Out Weird Error
Apr 21, 2011
I'm trying to add a string to a listbox if there is none exact string existed inside, but it turns out a very weird error. Look at this.
On form_load, I have this:
AddHandler Server1.OnUserLoggedIn, AddressOf HandleUser
And then,
Public Sub HandleUser(ByVal username As String)
'Here, you handle adding the text to a text box.
Me.Invoke(New PrintMessageDelegate(AddressOf AddUser), username)
End Sub
[Code] .....
The output is when I connect the first client, it works fine. But, when I try to connect the second client, it prints out three times both the listbox1 item and the txtDisplay. It's like get caught in loop, but I have tried other kind of loops like for each and other string comparison too, still work that way.

How would one go about checking a listbox's items for duplicates? Basically I need to write a program that displays the teams from a text file provided by my instructor, in alphabetical order. I can do that, but what I can't figure out is how to prevent the For loop from adding a duplicate team. What I'm envisioning is:
If teams(i).name is not in lstTeams.Items Then
lstTeams.Items.Add(teams(i).name)
End If
I have a program that compiles and works so far, except for the above problem and my alphabetical order (which I can probably figure out on my own:
Public Class danbrockteams
Structure team
Dim name As String
[Code]....
This works except that my listbox is filled with the team every player is in rather than just listing all possible teams. Not exactly looking for someone to just give me the answer, as I understand things best when figuring them out on my own, so I suppose a hint is what I'm really after.

I've read through all the search results for this and haven't quite got it yet. I often get given Excel spreadsheets of file names and have to check through them for duplicate names.I am making an app to do this for me. I've extracted the data from Excel I'm just having issues with checking for the duplicate. I've tried 2 different ways I found online and neither are working for me,

I am being forced to us Option Strict in my class and this is a new feature to me. Right now my code is having trouble comparing the current time to be added (A Date) with the list of times (Object). Here is my complete code
Option Strict On

Problem is inside TimeTaken Function, inside the For.. Until. Basically the If... Then Statement. I tried. .contains, Select Case, and a few other alternatives.

My code follows. I have six items (indices 0-6) and I'm trying to check if one has been selected or not. If not, then messagebox yells at you to select one. If it does, it tells you what you have selected. I'm having a horrible brain fart and contemplated coming here for about 45 minutes as I couldn't get it.
If ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString <> "" Then
MessageBox.Show("You selected " + ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString)
Else
MessageBox.Show("Please select an item.")
End If

I am using the DataSet to test for data errors on a DataGridView (to give the user feedback before they save changes back to the database). RowChanging event has the code at the bottom and this manages error messages on the DGV via an ErrorProvider. I want to add something to this code that esnures there are no duplicate rows (it's a 2 column table and one of those is the autoincrement PK). However I cannot work out how to do this and since the column in the database is set to Indexed (No Duplicates) it will throw an Ole error if I don't handle it, I could manage it in a Try block around TableAdapter.Adapter.Update but would prefer not to add needless round trips to the DB when it really ought to be simple to do it in the code (and preferably in the DataSet, not the form).
I found the following code (Forum Post) and try as I might I can't make it work since I can't get access to a DataTable within the RowChanging event that allows me to run DataTable.Rows.Find().
Dim expression as String
Dim matchingRow as DataRow
matchingRow = Mytable.Rows.Find(expression)
In my case:Mytable would be some kind of reference to the table / dataset etc.
'expression' would be e.Row.compclass.ToString
* a reference to the database table the form works with (bearing in mind that this code is in the DataSet not in the form). I've tried properties/methods of the DataSet itself; creating a new DataTable and linking it to the DataSet Table (or DB Table); creating
a new DataTable and loading it with the table contents - Searching MSDN and the forums hasn't popped anything up yet.I'm currently experimenting around this code:
Dim strCompClass As String = e.Row.compclass.ToString
strCompClass.Trim()
Dim foundRow As DataRow = ???.Rows.Find(strCompClass)
[code]....
This is the current code in the RowChanging event. The new code would be inserted after the last End If in the code below.
Private Sub ref_compclassDataTable_ref_compclassRowChanging(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As ref_compclassRowChangeEvent) Handles Me.ref_compclassRowChanging
If e.Row.HasErrors Then

I have this line of codes here to check if the records exist.
Try
If StudentInfoBindingSource.Find("StudentNumber", StudentNumberTextBox.Text) = -1 Then
ToolStripLabel4.Visible = True
[Code].....
This codes works perfectly but there is a problem, if I close that certain form and reopen it and try to input the same student number, the ex.Message for the Try appears and still the progressbar() command executes although the data will not be saved. I want to ged rid of the execution of progressbar() how can I make it work? And as much as possible I want the message box in Else to be executed and not the msgbox in try catch.

I just finished putting the first 6 datagrid controls on my form and i went to go test it and got this build error: Error 4 Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System. Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxColumn'.C:SoftwareForm1.vb 1425 19..When the line generating the error is this Me.Name = "Form1".where it has the "Form1" portion underlined in blue.This is a weird error because that line was made by the IDE to say the name of the form and has nothing to do with 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxColumn'.I tried saving my progress and restarting the IDE with no luck..Now I cannot even access the form in designer mode,One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.The designer cannot process the code at line 1424: Me.Name = "Form1" The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified.

I need to check if a Commodity entered into (TextBox1.Text) already exists on my table before i insert it. I'm having issues checking if the number of rows returned from my Select is equal 0? Also i'm wondering should i be checking for an exception and open/closing my connections each time i make a call to my DB or is the way i have it coded below OK?

I have a form where two fields on the first page of the form make up the primary key. I want to check for duplicate values before attempting to insert the record, since I don't want the user to go all the way through the form only to find out they can't submit it. So I'm trying to check for duplicate values when the user tries to go to the next page of the form. I wasn't quite sure how to do it, and sure enough I'm getting an error. ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") The problem is apparently in my if statement, "If myValue.Length > 0 Then", but I'm not sure what needs to be in place of that.

i made a program in which you put in a number like 10, and there are 10 cards. If you put in a number like 23, here is a possible output -
Card #1 - 3
Card #2 - 20
the rest 0
etc, where all the cards values adds up to the number you submit (the values displayed will be random)
The thing is, when i do a number below 10,000, it will come up as one card equaling that number and the rest equaling zero. If i do it a number 10,000 or larger, it will split it like it is supposed to.
[Code]...
interestingly, if you put in a break point, it works like it is supposed to!
What is going on? And why does it matter the size of the number for it to matter?
When i get home i'll edit this with screenshots.

When i was making my program, i went to import Shockwave Flash Object and AxMedia Player, But they were not there. I know a way of restoring them, Dll's but, however i cannot find the DLL in the folder. Can someone either give me the location in an example "/vbexpress/*****" Or can someone give me a download link to the DLL so i can do that, aswell? I think the download link would be the best.

Scroll to the bottom, EDIT 19 onwards. See @Chris's comments also for good examples
[code]...
It's all gone quiet since Edit 19ish and @Chris reinforcing the issue with a good example (thank you Chris). I'll make the question a little easier (and attempt to tidy up all of the above), can anyone prove this is not an MS bug or similar? It seems to be something under the hood is not correctly wired up for VB.Net with regards to Nullable Structures and Events? However, all other cases using the Nullable Structures does appear to work?

How someone would select an item from a list box and click a button and have that item go into another listbox with it's price? I seem to be stuck on this part.
Here's my code:
I want to select the first option from the first listbox and I want to put it into another listbox along with the price of that item on the same line in the listbox. I can't seem to figure out how to that.

I have been working on a pythagorean theorem calculator and am actually stuck on the final bit of code. What I am trying to do is check the values (integers) inside a listbox, remove duplicate number (both values), and input one of the values into a textbox.
Here is an example of what I am doing:
LISTBOX VALUES
2
2
3
[code]....
When the program runs, check listbox value #1 and listbox value #2, if listbox value #1 and #2 match (2 & 2), input that value (not both duplicates) into a variable, remove both of the duplicate values, continue checking the rest of the values, and finally multiply the leftover values. I am sure that sounds confusing. Here is what the final output will look like
LISTBOX VALUES
3
7

My program is half a formulator, and half ordering system. Where I get stuck is the ordering system part. In one screen I have 5 check boxes that you can check for which products you want to order. The products you checked then get sent to another screen and put into a list box with a quantity variable that starts at 1 attached to it. Now, if you check the same product again, another time through the program, as of now, quantity accumulates to 2, which is good, that's what I want. My problem is I want quantity to keep accumulating, right now it accumulates to 2, then on a third pass through the program,it duplicates the entry, so now in the list box has the original product and quantity of 2, and another entry that has the product with quantity of 2. 't quite understand how they work. Here's the code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
